Installing the Duplex Option

1. Turn off the printer, and unplug the power cord and interface cable.

2. Remove the cover from the right side of the printer. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws securing the right cover.

Keep the removed cover and screws in a safe place for future use.

3. Remove the duplex option from the shipping carton.

4. Remove any tape from the duplex unit.

We strongly suggest that you save the packing materials in case you ever need to move or ship the printer.

5. Attach the duplex option to the printer.

a. Hook the two tabs at the bottom of the duplex option onto the notches on the right side of the printer.

b. Push the duplex option toward the printer until it clicks on the top.

c. While still supporting the duplex unit, carefully open the right-side door, and then check that the tabs on the duplex unit are correctly hooked onto the printer.

If the duplex option is released before it is secured with the screws, it may fall and break. Be sure to keep the duplex option supported until the screws are tightened.

d. Open the duplex option’s cover and tighten the two thumbscrews on the duplex option to secure the unit to the printer.

e. Close the duplex option’s cover.

6. Attach the support wire for the duplex option to the printer.

a. Pull the right-side door release lever, and open the right-side door.

If you have lower feeder unit attached, you first need to open the lower right-side door.

b. Pull the tab for the support wire on the right side of the duplex option, and then hook the wire onto the hook-hole of the printer.

The hook-hole is about 1 inch below and to the right of the green knob on the right hand side of the open area. The hook-hole is inset in the black plastic molding. The round protruding end of the hook should be facing outward, and will slip into the notch, then 'lodge down' into the hook-hole. In addition to the line art image below, see also these digital images to help understand the importance of this connection.

c. Close the right-side door(s).

7. Reconnect interface cable.

8. Reconnect the power cord, and turn on the printer.

In compliance with UL guidelines, 'The appliance inlet is considered to be the main disconnect device.'

9. Print a configuration page from the printer control panel to verify the duplex option installation.

10. Configure the magicolor 2300 DL driver or the magicolor 2350EN driver or the magicolor 2300W driver for the new duplex option.
